Summary
"My recovery was based on knowing that if I could find something that mattered outside of my body, anything was possible."
Today we have a conversation with Suzy Unger who is living proof that recovery is possible at any age. She spent 20 years working as a celebrity agent in the entertainment industry. People thought she had it all together, but she was struggling deeply with an eating disorder and harmful levels of perfectionism.
Suzy entered treatment and discovered her true life’s purpose behind her eating disorder, leaving her career behind to become a licensed therapist. She now helps others heal from food and body issues, and is a proud ally who is passionate about bringing awareness to eating disorder struggles in the LGBTQIA+ community.
Suzy has an extraordinary recovery story that she started at age 45, and has carried into her 50's.
Now let’s get into this inspiring conversation with Suzy Unger, proving that recovery is possible no matter what age you are, or how long you've struggled.
